Actually gaysaint is right. the comma was a punctual error that was added when the Doctrine and Covenants was first divided into columns in 1920. If we look at the original addition (which i have)we see what was originally said. "And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine," [but at other times as well.] That verse is now in perfect accord with D&C 49:19. If, according to D&C 89 we are to eat meat sparingly, why does the Mormon Church promote the use of meat in its various functions? | Ask Gramps
